BARNJUM $6,000 AWARD 



By the unanimous decision of the judges, 

 Messrs. Gilbert, Howe, Piche and Wilson, 

 the first prize of $2,000 offered by Frank 

 J. D. Barnjum for a practical suggestion 

 for the suppression of the spruce bud 

 worm, bark beetle and borer, was awarded 

 to Mr. O. Schierbeck, Forest Engineer for 

 Price Bros., & Co., Limited, Quebec, whose 

 paper on the subject was the best effort of 

 the 230 presented. The balance of the 

 prize, namely $3,000, was divided equally, 

 or $1,000 each to Doctors Swaine, Craig- 

 head and Tothill, of the Forest Insect 

 Branch of the Entomological Department 

 as a reward for the untiring efforts of a 

 small band of loyal, conscientious, over- 

 worked and underpaid government offi- 

 cials, who are giving the best years of their 

 life for the suppression of the forest in- 

 sect peril in Canada, and from the fact 

 that much of the information contained in 

 papers presented was based on the results 

 of their good work. As no one paper quali- 

 fied fully for the prize, Mr. Barnjum, with 

 the hearty approval of the judges, felt this 

 would be a generous disposition of the prize 

 money. Much valuable information on this 

 important subject has been collected which 

 will be given to the world free with full 

 credit to the authors, who deserve and will 

 be accorded the earnest appreciation of the 

 people of the whole continent, which is so 

 seriously menaced by these insect pests.

The Principles and General Methods of

A discussion at length of the chief facili- 

 ties and methods for the movement of the 

 timber from stump to manufacturing plant, 

 especially logging railroads. 



PERPETUAL SUPPLY OF TIMBER 



Progressive southern lutnbermen, who 

 are looking westward for future stands 

 of timber as their own holdings become 

 cut out, are showing ircat interest in the 

 biggest offering of government timber 

 ever made, says the Forest Service, United 

 States Department of .*.griculture. 



The timber unit offered lies within the 

 Malheur National Forest in Oregon and 

 contains Spo.ooo.cxx) feet of timber, 87 

 per cent of which is yellow pine. It is one 

 of a group of logging units all tributary 

 to Burns, Oregon, totaling 6,700,000,000 

 board feet. This forest region, govern- 

 ment foresters say, will produce an annual 

 cut of 60,000,000 feet for all time, thus 

 insuring a continuous supply of raw 

 material for the local lumber industries 

 and steady employment for mills and 

 woods workers. The opening up of the 

 Malheur Forest presents an unusual 

 chance for a new and permanent location 

 for some company which is through in 

 the South, say the foresters. 



FEDERAL FUNDS AID STATES IN 

 FIRE FIGHTING 



.Allotments of $400,000 of Federal fund> 

 to states cooperating with the government 

 in protecting forest lands from fire havt' 

 just been completed by the Forest Service, 

 United States Departinent of .Agriculture, 

 according to District Forester George H. 

 Cecil, of Portland. 



This sum, together with not less than an 

 equal amount to be sup^Dlied by the states 

 cooperating, is expended jointly by the 

 cooperating Federal and state foresters 

 in protecting from fire forest lands at the 

 Iieadwaters of navigable streams. The 

 allotment is made on a basis of timbered 

 area and cost of adequate protection. The 

 Federal expenditure in any state is re- 

 stricted to not over $24,000. 



This ainount of money is insufficient to 

 insure adequate, forest fire protection, ac- 

 cording to Mr. Cecil, but it has in con- 

 nection with state funds, enabled substan- 

 tial progress to be made in that direc- 

 tion. Due to the serious fire season this 

 year in both Oregon and Washington, 

 this cooperative fund has been drawn on 

 heavily, foresters say. 



.Allotments to the various states are a- 

 follows : 



Oregon. $24,000: Washington. $24,000; 

 California, $22,750; Idaho, north, $21,000; 

 Idaho, south, $2,300; Montana, $13,725: 

 Maine, $24,000; New Hampshire, $8,425: 

 Vermont, $4,200: Massachusetts. $8,400; 

 Rhode Island, $625: Connecticut, $3,150; 

 N'evv York. $24.000 ; New Jersey. $5,050 ; 

 Pennsylvania. $24,000: Maryland. $3,850: 

 Virginia. $18,200; West Virginia, $10,500: 

 North Carolina, $12,000; Tennessee. $11.- 

 700; Louisiana, $21,000; Texas, $13,000; 

 Ohio, $1,050; Michigan, $24,000; Wiscon-
